Today in human geo we talked about cultural regions ( Beliefs, material traits, and social forms). The origin of the word culture is the latin cults which means to care for. To care about- to adore or worship something, as in the modern cult. To take care of-to nurse or look after something, as in the modern word culture. A cult is a special person that people like look up to. For example people looked up to a person and he said the world was going to end on a date and it did not and the people who look up to him were mad because they prepared and the world did not end. The difference between a religion and cult is a religion looks up to a higher being but they have similar beginnings. After we took notes we broke into groups and identified characteristics of regions.
Today in human geo we watched another video. It was Hans Rosling he teaches global health. He made of graph. The X axis was life span and the Y axis was income. He showed the world separated by color dots. Europe was brown. Asia was red. Middle East was green. Sub-Saharan was blue. Americas was yellow. The graph started in year 1810. In 1810 all people were sick and poor and the life expectancy were 40 years old except for U.K. and Netherlands. As the years went on the life expectancy got higher and people got more money.
